Would you swim with humpbacks?
HERVEY Bay, already the spiritual home of whale watching, could soon complement the experience it offers and allow visitors to swim with humpbacks.
The daring enterprise would make the Fraser Coast the only region in Australia able to provide such an intimate humpback encounter, and would almost certainly provide a huge boost for the industry locally.
Currently tourists can swim with minke whales in Cairns or whale sharks in Western Australia. Tonga also allows visitors to swim with humpbacks.
A recent Tourism Fraser Coast strategic plan, which was put together after consultation with its members, highlighted a desire for the dive experience to be added to the list of attractions operators make available.
Tourism Fraser Coast general manager Pip Close said research on how to action and the potential benefits of a product such as swimming with whales would be done during the next three years.
She said members of the tourism body had made it known their belief was the region needed to diversify and develop a wider variety of products to overcome the reliance on Whale Watching and Fraser Island.
"We have to innovate, we have to offer more activities to attract and keep tourists in our region longer," Ms Close said.
"We have lost market share in the backpacking industry to places such as Rainbow Beach.
"Once we lose these tourists it's very difficult to acquire them back and when we are competing against regions such as Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast we have to seek new product."
Other strategic plan targets
- More beachfront dining and cafes.
- Engage council to encourage a master plan to redevelop the harbour
- Lobby for law change to allow hand feeding of dolphins
- A shipwreck dive opportunity

You've got only an hour left before you must get your design and bid to the customer, and your computer crashes. Fatally. You have lost all your data. Such a scenario happens all too often, but it need not happen to you.
Computer hardware is often a hodgepodge of mismatched components. Computers often crash or slow down inexplicably. There is a connection between these two facts. People also spend an awful lot of money on computers, getting enormous frustration instead of task automation. Let's look at how to minimize the cost, nearly eliminate the crashes, and be happy computer campers. We'll run the gamut from first purchase through upgrades.
Before even considering hardware, you must decide two things. First, what activities will you do? Make a list. Second, what software will you run? Make another list. Once you have your lists, you must decide on an operating system, only then should you buy hardware.
Typically, you'll run Windows NT, or possibly Windows 95/98. For either, make sure your motherboard and central processing unit (CPU) will run reliably on either system. Your vendor can tell you this. If you buy computers on-line, make sure to use a large vendor, such as an on-line superstore (you can search the Internet for "on-line superstore" to find these, or look at the ads on the EC&M website). These companies live and die based on service, so they will help you make the correct decisions upfront. Let's look at hardware, starting with fundamental decisions and then moving on to the less critical ones.
Consider which CPU you need. Once you know that, then you can buy the motherboard to match it. If you are going to run Windows NT, make sure both your board and CPU carry NT certification. Intel boards and CPUs automatically carry this certification, but Intel is not the only player in the board and CPU game who can do that. You'll soon face Celeron, which is a Pentium II that runs slower than a Pentium of lower clock speed. Celeron lacks cache, among other important things. When you specify a CPU, spend your dollars on cache first, then clock speed.
Data ports are becoming an issue, with Microsoft and other key players just hoping for the death of ISA. ISA is an old serial bus that is much slower than the newer buses, such as VESA (superceded by PCI when the Pentium superceded the 486) firewire, and USB (the emerging standard). You want USB on your computer, even if you have no USB devices now. If speed is important to you, don't buy ISA devices. All scanners and CD-writers are SCSI, as are some high-end printers and other high-end peripherals. You specify data ports when you specify your motherboard.
When it comes to monitors, every study in the computer magazines supports the claim that bigger is better. The 17-in. monitor is pretty much the standard, and these monitors run as low as $300. The 19-in., 20-in., and 21-in. monitors are also below $1000.
Size isn't everything, though. You must also consider the dot-pitch (dp) spec. A dp of .028 mm is the "worst" you want to go-the lower the number, the better. Your monitor must be capable of a 72 Hz refresh rate at its high resolutions. Anything less, and you are talking about fatigue and lost productivity. Similarly, you need a video card to drive your monitor. Get a card with some horsepower, or you'll wait all day for the screen to refresh. A 128-bit card works well, and so does almost anything with at least 4 MB of RAM onboard. Make sure you get a PCI-based card. The ISA cards will slow your system down.
Hard drives come in many sizes. The most economical way to buy a drive is to look at where the price makes a major jump. Earlier this year, a 6.4 GB hard drive was $20 more than a 4 GB hard drive, which was $20 more than a 2 GB hard drive. Moving up to an 8.4 GB added over $100 to the price. The most economical size to buy was a 6.4 GB. This pricing "sweet spot" changes over time. As of this writing, the sweet spot is now the 8.4, and the EIDE version runs about $200; you'll pay another $100 to go to a 9.1 GB.
A fundamental decision on drives revolves around the Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI) versus Enhanced Intregated Drive Electronics (EIDE) question. A common misperception, propagated in some computer magazines, is EIDE drives are as fast as SCSI drives because the seek times are about the same. Seek time is only part of the equation. A SCSI drive (or CD-ROM) uses a tenth of the resources an EIDE does. For overall system speed, SCSI is the hare to the EIDE snail. If you are going to run a CD-writer or a scanner, you should buy a SCSI adapter. You can run seven devices off of it, using only one Interrupt Request (IRQ): an advantage as you start adding peripherals. Running out of IRQs is becoming the norm, not the exception.
How much RAM do you need? A good rule of thumb is to install as much RAM as your motherboard can hold. RAM has gone from being the $45/MB item it was a few years ago to being $1/MB today. The 60 nanosecond RAM in the Single Inline Memory Module (SIMM) package is now museum material, thanks to the cheaper and faster 10 nanosecond RAM that comes in a Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM). You can get a single 64 MB DIMM for under $70, and a 128 MB DIMM for under $200 (June 98 prices).
The sheer variety of RAM makes buying it a chore. Not only is there an alphabet soup, but you have single- and two-sided DIMMs. Not all RAM is interchangeable. Never buy RAM without your motherboard manual in your hand, unless you buy your RAM and motherboard from the same vendor. Now, let's look at the less fundamental components.
Printers come in laser and ink technologies. The lasers cost much more, but they run much faster than ink printers do. Hewlett Packard makes some high-end color inkjet printers capable of network use, but they pale next to laser speed and quality. If you print a lot, go laser. If you go through less than a ream of paper a week, go ink. Make sure your printer is Windows NT compatible (this also applies to scanners, as most scanners don't run on NT) if you are going to use it with an engineering station.
Multimedia was cute when it came out, but now it is essential. Lack of a sound card will lock you out of much of the information contained on many CDs. A headphone jack is essential for a business-environment, and most cards have these. Buy a PCI-based card. A computer with no modem or network card is not only an oddity today; it's a liability. Make sure your card is PCI. The actual speed of your modem will depend on how close you are to your telephone switching station. Because modem technology is living on borrowed time, don't splurge here.
Table 1 (of original article) shows some common hardware problems, and how to resolve them. Most hardware problems that affect system speed result from mismatched or undersized components. A $2500 Pentium II-400 system with 32 MB of RAM will run slower than a $1250 Pentium-200 with 128 MB of RAM. A $4000 Pentium II-400 with 256 MB of RAM and all high-end components except an ISA modem will download your Internet pages slower than will a $300 Pentium-100 with 48 MB of RAM and a PCI modem. Such problems as frequent crashes, data loss, fuzzy displays, and frequent hard drive failure indicate the need to do a little system redesign.
Backup media are essential, today. All such media must be removable: anything that can cause a hard drive to fail can cause a backup to fail if it's in your machine. For small files, you can still use the venerable floppy disk, but it's not a backup medium. You'd need roughly 8,500 floppies to back up the typical drive that comes with mid-level computers today. Until recently, the standard medium was the tape drive. Most workstations now use removable hard drives (Jazz, Iomega, and SyQuest are the leaders here), but this is emerging technology with no media standards. You'll need to determine what is most common among people you share large files with. You may need more than one medium.
Power protection can keep your computer dollars from going up in smoke. You need to look at the whole infrastructure of the building where your PC resides. You need some sort of surge protection, sag protection, and power conditioning. The standard desktop UPS provides these. This UPS is for the desktop, but it should not sit on the desktop. Its purpose is to provide you with glitch ride-through and an orderly shutdown on loss of power. It is not a secondary power source, nor is it a magic box that cures all power system problems. Make sure you have surge protection on any modem lines, especially in a networked environment.

There is a wonderful scene in "Kill Bill" where Yakuza boss Tanaka's head is abruptly separated from his body and ends up in the hands of O-Ren Ishii as a deep red fountain of blood gushes out of the stump that was once his neck. His transgression, you ask? Questioning the bi-racial origin of Tokyo's newest crime lord. As I started writing this piece, this bit of cinema resonated with me in relation to the work of painter Sas Christian; better yet, Tarantino's entire oeuvre could be analogous to Christian's paintings. They both operate as meta celebrations of their respective idioms. I'm probably getting ahead of myself, so why don't I return back to the cross-medium comparisons later after I've better acquainted you true believers with Sas and her work.
Sas is a UK expatriate living in the FLA with her husband Colin (profiled in an earlier entry — Superfine: The art of Colin Christian) and their menagerie of pets. Having grown up in Europe, there is an extremely strong undercurrent of its rich history of painting seen in her work. Ingres, Bouguereau, Peter Paul Rubens: their influences can all be seen in her modern slant on portraiture. Juxtaposing the usually demure poses of British and French with the motifs and conventions of manga and cinema, she gives her paintings a tension that wouldn't be there otherwise. With their enlarged eyes and forward gazes, the girls seem to be confronting the viewer and challenging you to keep looking. This is where their power comes from — they're not sitting there docilely being documented, they are daring Sas to paint them. Her technique has been refined over the years, the environments have changed, but Christian has never taken her eyes off the prize; she continues to embolden her paintings with a majesty and an energy unlike anyone working today.
So, why the seemingly non-existent Tarantino comparison, you may ask? To me, there is a straight line that abstractly runs through both of their bodies of work. QT takes cinema, re-appropriates the cadences, the clichés, everything that made it magical for him, and is able to re-contextualize it in a wholly different form. In doing so, he gives his films a sense of timelessness; there is a sense of immediacy and of retrospect, they become post-modern reveries that transcend the mere homage they could be.
Sas's work straddles and crosses the same barriers; by taking a vast array of influences and using them in a way that creates something that is at the same time bigger than the sum of it's parts, and also a complete celebration of both the act and the art of painting. By not choosing to conceal her influences, she's able to imbue her work with a sense of place and weight, but at the same time not stymied by them. 19th century portrait painting, the big-eyed girls of Margaret Keane's paintings, 70's cinema, the color fields of Mark Rothko, fashion photography, the Japanese Superflat movement: all of these elements are part of the ingredients, but with the artful hand of Christian, there is no overbearing burden of their weight. While the kitsch of the saucer-eyed waif is as an easy go-to for many artists, Sas is able to elevate her pieces to so much more than that by using her extraordinary sense of color to create a feeling of safety, an amniotic fluid if you will, that is pierced by the stare of one of her girls like an Adamantium claw through the gut.
Any of Sas's girls would be comfortable alongside Jackie Brown or the Black Mamba in the Fox Force Five… which as you know is Fox as in "they're a bunch of foxy chicks." Force, as in "they're a force to be reckoned with." Five, as in there is one… two… three… four… five of them. Her subjects, though extensions of her femininity, don't exist solely as that which give them a humanity that anyone can relate to, and that's the most potent of their powers. There's a story behind these ladies that makes them vulnerable, dangerous, and alluring; a story as intricate as a two–part revenge flick.
Having just come off a hugely successful show at Opera Gallery in New York — one that found her being more collaborative and interactive with Colin's work — she now moves on to her next show, slated for the Summer of 2012 in Los Angeles. Until then you can visit her website, follow her on the ol' Twitter, or befriend Ms. Christian on Facebook.

Lack of depth hindering girls
Centura downs Gothenburg.
CAIRO—Gothenburg girls basketball coach Tim Peterson is finding himself in a quandary.
He wants to play more girls off his bench so those on the floor don't get too tired.
"If I don't sub enough, we get worn down and that leads to bad quarters," he said.
At the same time, the Swedes can't afford to see a drop-off in production when Peterson goes to his bench.
"It's kind of a double-edged sword," he said.
Besides that, Peterson said, he's still looking for the right combination of chemistry.
All that contributed, he said, to Gothenburg's 54-36 loss to Centura Saturday.
"They're a really good basketball team," Peterson said of the Centurians. "And we're not putting together four quarters of basketball."
The Swedes fell behind 14-8 in the first period but Peterson said the deficit didn't seem insurmountable.
Then Centura really caught fire.
"They outscored us 21-8 in the second quarter," Peterson said. "Take out that bad spell and you've got a pretty close ball game."
Centura held a 35-16 lead at halftime.
"It has nothing at all to do with a lack of effort," Peterson said. "These girls give everything they have. It's more a lack of execution."
Swede senior Emily Max scored 19 points and pulled down 10 rebounds to lead Gothenburg.
The Swedes move to 3-7 on the season. This week they host Cozad (3-9) on Thursday and travel to Chase County (4-5) Friday.
"Cozad has good size and they're much improved from last year," Peterson said. "Chase County has been a bit of a surprise. They have small numbers but they're a solid team. These are games we should win but we're going to have to bring our A game for both."

By David Adams
(Reuters) - A juror in the trial of George Zimmerman says the former neighborhood watch volunteer "got away with murder" when he was acquitted earlier this month in the shooting death of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin.
The woman, who is part Hispanic and was identified in court as juror B29, said she would have liked to convict Zimmerman of murdering Martin but her hands were tied by a lack of evidence.
"You can't put the man in jail even though in our hearts we felt he was guilty," she said in an interview due to be aired on ABC's "Good Morning America" on Friday. "But we had to grab our hearts and put it aside and look at the evidence," the woman said.
Excerpts of the interview were published on ABC's website, http://abcnews.go.com/US/george-zimmerman-juror-murder/story?id=19770659.
Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, responded to the interview excerpts in a statement on Thursday evening.
"It is devastating for my family to hear the comments from juror B29, comments which we already knew in our hearts to be true: that George Zimmerman literally got away with murder," Fulton said.
Zimmerman, who is white and Hispanic, was found not guilty of murder and manslaughter on July 13 after a racially charged trial. The verdict triggered demonstrations across the United States.
The jurors have remained anonymous under a judge's order. Juror B29 allowed her face to be shown and used her first name, Maddy. ABC said the 36-year-old woman is Puerto Rican and that she recently moved to Florida from Chicago. She is a nursing assistant and mother of eight.
Juror B29, the only non-white member of the jury, is the second juror to speak in a televised interview, and the first to show her face.
Juror B37, a mother of two who grew up in a military family, appeared last week on CNN with her face obscured. She said she believed Zimmerman, 29, was "justified" in shooting Martin, 17, during a confrontation in a gated community in central Florida in February 2012.
She said she did not think Zimmerman racially profiled Martin and believed Martin attacked Zimmerman first.
Shortly after the interview, which prompted a hostile backlash on social media, CNN said four other jurors released a statement distancing themselves from B37's comments.
Juror B29 agreed with B37 that the case was never about race, despite accusations by the prosecution that Zimmerman had profiled Martin when he called police to report someone acting suspiciously in the community near Orlando.
Zimmerman's lawyers said he acted in self-defense after Martin started beating his head against a concrete sidewalk.
Whatever the truth, juror B29 said Zimmerman had a lot to answer for. "George Zimmerman got away with murder, but you can't get away from God. And at the end of the day, he's going to have a lot of questions and answers he has to deal with," she said. "(But) the law couldn't prove it."
When the jury began deliberations, she said she initially favored convicting Zimmerman. "I was the juror that was going to give them the hung jury. I fought to the end," she said.
On the second day of deliberations she realized there was not enough proof to convict Zimmerman of murder or manslaughter under Florida law, she said.
When asked whether the case should have gone to trial, the juror said: "I don't think so." She added: "I felt like this was a publicity stunt."
She said that after the trial had ended, she wrestled with her decision and had a hard time sleeping and eating. She said she feels she owes Martin's parents an apology.
"I'm hurting as much as Trayvon Martin's mother because there's no way that any mother should feel that pain," she said.

Boston, MA (PRWEB) January 14, 2014
Building on the success of last year's pilot program, New England Law | Boston will once again sponsor its Summer Fellowship Program in 2014, enabling students to earn money, gain valuable skills and contacts, and enhance their career prospects in a range of legal specialties and settings.
The program provides 10-week summer fellowship opportunities at law firms, businesses, government offices, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The program enables students to gain experience and professional connections while receiving $3,500 school-paid stipends that make the program accessible to many who would otherwise be unable to participate.
The opportunity will be available to first-year Day and Evening Division students and second-year Evening Division students. The fellowships are administered by the law school's Center for Business Law (CBL) and the Center for Law and Social Responsibility (CLSR). New England Law alumni also provide assistance.
"Last year's program was a great achievement and we are pleased to offer it again in 2014," said Dean John F. O'Brien. "It is part of our continuing effort to help students become as prepared as possible for the practice of law. We are committed to programs like this that help our students gain meaningful experience that will assist them in today's tight job market."
The summer 2013 program received enthusiastic reviews from both students and their placement hosts. Many students were asked to continue their connections with their host organizations. Several of these are earning law school credit to complement their extracurricular experience. Summer fellowships and internships sometimes lead to a student receiving a post-graduation job offer, as was the case with the 2013 Summer Fellowship Program.
"This was a fantastic opportunity for me, and it was great to be at a big firm," said Serge Subach '14 about his fellowship at Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky P.C. He hopes eventually to find work in a large tech company either as an in-house attorney or as a member of a patent group.
"I learned more than I ever expected," said Jayde Matchem '15, who was placed with Associate Justice Robert Foster of the Massachusetts Land Court. "Judge Foster offered great advice on litigation, attorney conduct, property law, and legal writing, and at the same time I learned about areas of law such as zoning, takings, and mortgages in greater detail."
CBL placements represented a wide range of legal fields, including real estate, intellectual property, health law, medical malpractice, insurance defense, and many other areas. CLSR placements offered law students the opportunity to work with practitioners with a public interest focus. Students also benefited from the advice and expertise of law school faculty and personnel.
"Most students summarized the program as exceeding their expectations and solidifying their confidence in choosing to enter the legal field," said Professor David Siegel, CLSR co-director.
The majority of 2013 fellowships took place in New England. Baltimore, Chicago, New York City, Seattle, Washington, New Jersey, and Oregon were also represented, among other locations.
A partial listing of the 2013 placements follows.
- Federal and state courts, including U.S. District Attorney's Office, District of Massachusetts, Criminal Division; Hon. Elizabeth Fahey, Massachusetts Superior Court; Hon. Stephen Limon, Juvenile Court Department Suffolk County Division, Boston; Massachusetts Land Court; Hon. Joseph Sise, Court of Claims, Montgomery County, NY; and the Superior Court of New Jersey;
- Attorney general and public defender offices, including U.S. District Attorney's Office, District of Massachusetts, Criminal Division; Essex District Attorney's Office, Salem, MA; Suffolk County District Attorney's Office, Homicide Unit, Cambridge, MA; Public Defender's Office, Monroe County, NY; Rhode Island Office of the Attorney General; and Yakima County Prosecuting Attorney, WA;
- Law firms and corporate legal departments, including John Hancock; Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky P.C.; and Pan Am Railways, among many others;
- Government agencies, including EPA Region 1, Boston; Federal Reserve Bank of New York; U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development; U.S. Army JAG Corps; U.S. Trade Representative Office, Washington; Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs; Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA); Massachusetts Securities Division; City of Melrose, MA; City of New York Parks and Recreation;
- Social service agencies, including Catholic Charities of Baltimore, MD; Irish International Immigrant Center, Boston; Harvard Legal Aid Bureau; Human Rights Watch, New York; and Planning Office for Urban Affairs, Archdiocese of Boston.

Brigada Eskwela focuses on school sanitation
By Linda B. Bolido
Original article posted by the Inquirer http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/201589/brigada-focuses-on-school-sanitation
The numbers alone indicate the sad state of sanitation facilities in Philippine public schools.
The toilet-pupil ratio is 1:55 in the elementary level and 1:93 in high school, based on statistics from the Department of Education's Basic Education Information System. And that is literally one toilet—not one room with several cubicles.
The numbers are lower than the global standards set by the World Health Organization (WHO) and United Nations Children's Fund (Unicef) of 1:50 for males (if urinals are present) and 1:25 for females, and even lower than the norm set by the Philippine Sanitation Code, which is also 1:50 for boys and 1:30 for girls.
The figures are so much worse in some areas of Mindanao—1:300.
Although the DepEd has managed to reduce the toilet shortage of 135,847 in 2009-2010 to 117,480 in 2011 by adding 60,109 seats in the elementary level and 57,371 in high school, the problem remains acute.
Depressing as they are, the numbers still do not really reflect the horror of the situation. Without janitors and maintenance people to keep the toilets clean and in good working order, there is no telling how many of those physical facilities are actually suitable for use.
No budget for janitor
As Merlie Asprer, operations manager of the DepEd's Adopt-a-School program, explained, the government agency did not have allocations for the positions of janitors and other maintenance people in its annual budget.
So this year, the nine-year-old Brigada sa Eskwela program, the annual multisectoral initiative to prepare public schools for the opening of a new academic year undertaken simultaneously all over the country, is giving special focus on sanitation, specifically toilets. This is part of the general goal of developing in children simple cleanliness habits that can prevent a host of diseases and health problems that adversely affect academic performance.
At the formal opening of the 2012-2013 Brigada program at Justo Lukban Elementary School in Paco, Manila, Education Secretary Armin Luistro said, "Schools should be safe havens for kids, especially in terms of health. They should not be just learning centers."
He said Brigada was proof that some problems could be addressed if people did not just criticize but also offered to help. The program drew on the actual involvement, not financial aid, of local governments, international partners, businesses, parents, students, police, military and ordinary citizens, he said.
This year's campaign, Luistro said, would prioritize the more than 700 "highly congested, critical schools."
Unicef country representative Tomoo Hozumi said problems like intestinal worms, stomachache and diarrhea were indications of poor sanitation. These problems lead to anemia, stunting and increased absenteeism. They reduced a child's ability to concentrate and learn, Hozumi added.
While boys are able to cope with the problem better—although they often grow up thinking that urinating against the wall is accepted behavior—girls have trouble dealing with it.
Unsafe for girls
Unicef's Wash (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) in Schools program pointed out: "The lack of Wash facilities in schools poses problems for girls, who have more need for water and sanitation facilities (than boys). Aside from availability, security and privacy of toilet facilities are a must for girls. Girls also need water and washing materials within the toilet facilities, especially for menstrual management."
It added that "poor Wash facilities (isolated location of toilets, lack of door locks/window covers/grills, lack of water, soap and trash cans inside/close to toilets) increase security risk and vulnerability of girls."
Asprer said, through Brigada, they were counting on partners, like the Parents-Teachers Association (PTA), to provide the human resources needed to maintain the toilets, as well as the supplies required to ensure that sanitation practices were strictly observed.
She said the handwashing campaign, for instance, had already resulted in some very practical solutions. Children in schools with no water supply but whose homes have steady and adequate supplies brought water for their handwashing needs.
Some local governments, apprised that the basic hygiene kit of soap, toothbrush and toothpaste cost only P25 per child for one year, assumed the responsibility of providing such to their students.
Jon Michael R. Villaseñor, Unicef Philippines Wash in Schools officer, said the provinces of Northern Samar and Camarines Norte were just two local governments that had signed memoranda of agreement for this campaign.
Asprer added that parents, realizing how little it would cost them to prevent some major health problems in their children, agreed to pay for the kits after sponsorships by private companies ended.
With prefabrication an option, she said the DepEd was building toilets with several cubicles to allow the use of one facility by several students simultaneously. The agency was also exploring new technologies for toilets that use less or even no water, particularly for areas where supply was a problem.
DepEd action center
Some schools had set up rain collection facilities so they would have water for flushing toilets and watering plants, she said.
Meanwhile, the DepEd held a command conference with partners in the Oplan Balik Eskwela (OBE) Task Force last Friday to ensure the smooth opening of classes on June 4.
The DepEd will have the OBE Information and Action Center May 28-June 8 at its Bulwagan ng Karunungan in Pasig City to provide quick information and response to complaints and queries.
The annual OBE seeks to address problems commonly encountered during school opening and aims to ensure that students are properly enrolled and are able to attend school on the first day of classes.
Members of the task force include the Departments of Public Works and Highways, Trade and Industry, Transportation and Communications, Health , Interior and Local Government, and National Defense; Philippine National Police, Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration, Metropolitan Manila Development Authority, Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System and its concessionaires—Manila Water Company Inc. and Maynilad Water Services Inc., Philippine Information Agency, and Manila Electric Co.
Prior to the conference, the DepEd and the OBE partners held the Inter-Agency Convergence Meeting to consolidate efforts for the school opening and to ensure they are sustained throughout the school year.

U.S. lawmakers say time is running out for a congressional super committee to identify $1.2 trillion in deficit reduction during the next 10 years. Partisan disagreements remain on how best to improve America's fiscal health, despite a softening of rigid ideological positions.
Members of the bipartisan, bicameral deficit reduction committee insist a deal is still possible before the November 23 deadline established in a budget deal signed into law earlier this year.
"The clock is running out, but it has not run out yet. We still have time, but we have no time to waste," said Republican Senator Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania.
Toomey spoke on the U.S. television program, "Fox News Sunday." Also appearing on Fox was another super committee member, Democratic Representative James Clyburn of South Carolina.
"We have got 10 days to do this, and I really believe that all of the ingredients for a good resolution are there. We just need to develop the will," he said.
Should the committee fail, automatic budget cuts would be triggered that would fall on domestic spending championed by Democrats and defense spending championed by Republicans.
Both sides have put forth proposals to avoid such an outcome. Republicans are signaling their willingness to consider at least some form of increased revenue, while Democrats say they would be willing to reduce federal spending. But Republicans continue to insist that the bulk of savings should come from spending cuts.
"If you go too far, if you try to create too much revenue, you can do economic damage," said Senator Toomey.
Democrats are pushing for an even mix of spending cuts and tax hikes so that the budget ax does not fall disproportionately on programs replied on by the poor and disadvantaged. Congressman Clyburn says it would be unjust to shield the wealthy from sacrifice to balance the nation's books.
The minimum target for deficit reduction is $1.2 trillion. Some on the 12-member super committee say they hope for a much bigger deal, perhaps in the $4-trillion range, which would likely require reforms to income and health-care programs for retirees. But the committee appears to be struggling just to meet the minimum amount.
The federal deficit exceeds $1 trillion this year. The national debt, comprised of cumulative annual deficits, totals roughly $15 trillion, or nearly $50,000 for each man, woman, and child in the country.

Rex Ryan anticipates Tim Tebow will be "ready to go" in the New York Jets' next game against the Arizona Cardinals in spite of the backup quarterback's two broken ribs.
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Rex Ryan expects Tim Tebow to be "ready to go" for the New York Jets' next game.
Whether the backup quarterback actually plays Sunday against Arizona is another matter.
Tebow is recovering from two broken ribs that kept him on the sideline last Thursday night in New York's 49-19 loss to New England. He was in uniform but didn't play, with Ryan saying he could have come in but would have been used only in an emergency. Tebow revealed after the game that he was injured two weeks ago at Seattle.
"I'm not expecting anything to change as far as his availability, but we'll see how the week goes, to see if there's any significant change or anything else," Ryan said Monday. "I know he was active for the game, but we'll see. I know he's getting treatment and things like that."
Initial X-rays after the game against the Seahawks were negative, and Tebow played three snaps at St. Louis last week. Ryan said that the limited playing time was more a product of the Rams showing certain defensive looks than the injury. When the pain worsened early last week, Tebow underwent an MRI exam and CT scan, which revealed the fractures.
Tebow was listed as questionable for the game against the Patriots, but was made active — instead of third-stringer Greg McElroy — after speaking with Ryan and undergoing a pregame evaluation. Tebow refused any pain-killing injections before the game.
"I considered putting Greg up and having (Tebow down), but he's like, 'Coach, I'm fine. I can go,'" Ryan said. "He wanted to. He came to the stadium early and he was ready to play — in his eyes and in the doctors' and trainers' that he could play. That was why I made the decision to have him there as a backup quarterback only."
Tebow has had little impact on the offense as the backup to Mark Sanchez, averaging just seven snaps a game. He is 6 of 7 passing for 39 yards and has rushed 29 times for 87 yards, but plays regularly on special teams as the personal punt protector. Ryan was not comfortable having Tebow even in that role against the Patriots after hearing that the quarterback's breathing wasn't normal the day before the game.
"We had him there in just an emergency role," Ryan said. "What that role would have been exactly, if something were to happen — would we have just handed the ball off a little bit? That's probably what would have happened. Again, I wouldn't have put a guy out there if somebody with a lot more knowledge than me were to tell me that he's not ready to go."
But the decision left the Jets with just one healthy quarterback active in Sanchez. While many fans have called for Tebow to replace Sanchez as the starter to give the offense a spark, others have said they'd like to see what McElroy might be able to do.
A second-year quarterback out of Alabama, McElroy was a seventh-round draft pick who missed last season with a dislocated thumb. He has yet to throw a pass in a regular-season game, but has had some solid performances during the last two preseasons.
"It was a game-time decision last week, so obviously Tim wanted to give it a go and the coaches told me to just be ready," said McElroy, who feels comfortable in Tony Sparano's offense. "I did the best I could the entire week to try to understand the game plan and what we were going to be doing and the plan of attack. I was ready to go if need be, and fortunately, Tim was feeling OK and feeling well enough to go."
McElroy did not take any snaps with the first- or second-team offense during an abbreviated practice schedule last week. He mainly worked with the scout team to try to help get the Jets' defense prepared. He anticipates doing much of the same this week, although Tebow didn't appear to do much during the early portion of the team's walkthrough Monday.
McElroy also insists the fact that Tebow was still the backup over him despite having two cracked ribs wasn't a slight to him by Ryan and the coaching staff.
"Oh, well, it's never anything personal," McElroy said. "We don't speculate or anything like that. Again, Tim was feeling good enough to go and he is the backup quarterback, so my job on Thursday was to be those guys' eyes from the sideline. That's been my role up to this point and I'm very happy and pleased to have that role, and I just want to help out Mark and Tim any way I can."

Watch: Jimmy Kimmel Doesn't Hold Back Making Fun of Cruz for Liking Porn
News of Senator Ted Cruz's official Twitter account caught liking a hardcore porn video on Twitter might be the best thing to happen to late night TV since the last major gaffe from the Trump administration.
It was recently reported U.S. Sen. Cruz (R-Texas) blamed a staffing aide with access to his account for mistakingly liking the tweet, which was an x-rated clip showing a woman watching two people have sex on a sofa. After liking the tweet, the clip appeared in the lawmakers' followers' timelines.
"It was a staffing issue, and it was inadvertent. It was a mistake. It was not a deliberate action," Cruz told reporters.
But that didn't stop Jimmy Kimmel from taking aim at the failed Republican presidential candidate.
He explains the source of the clip comes from "stepmom porn," adding:
"He's a family values guy. Just think, if he did this during the campaign, he'd probably be the president right now."
Kimmel then points out Cruz also supported a Texas law that would ban sex toys.
"So, he's a lot of fun," he says, later adding, Cruz is "being punished for being a very naughty boy."
Kimmel then goes through a list of reasons as to why Cruz may have liked the porn, saying "Ted, himself, was looking at the porn and his wife Heidi walked in and he accidentally hit the "like" but while he's trying to get his pants zipped up."
"Or...Ted lost the presidential election, he's been bullied by Trump, he didn't get a cabinet position, he's tired of being the uptight religious guy from Texas. He just said, 'Screw it. I watch porn in public now. This is who I am,'" Kimmel joked.
"I honestly don't think it was Ted Cruz, I don't think Ted Cruz looks at porn," he went on to say. "Ted Cruz masturbates to pictures of poor people without health care."
The clip then features a spoof Cruz ad. Check the hilarious video below.

Post subject: The ubiquitous egg
The egg being fat and protein and (minus the shell), is over 90% water. The shell is porous and leaches water into the atmosphere. As an egg ages the membrane between the shell and the white looses moisture and shrinks. This shrinkage causes the shell to lose its porosity and become a seal if sorts. This process will take place over a varying length of time depending on the storage method employed. The longer the shell remains moisturized, the slower the process of sealing off the contents of the shell to the outside world. Theoretically then, eggs stored in a water bath should not dry out at all. In boiling eggs, the membrane shrinks around the egg further and will appear to bond with the white given the white has lost enough water to separate it from the membrane. Eggs nearing this stage will be easier to peel if done so under a trickle of cold running water.
Temperature to start with is important for two reasons, one being by starting refrigerated eggs in cold water alllows them to heat up at relatively the same rate as the water and thus the shell is less likely to crack and raising the temperature slowly further insures a an even expansion. Second, as an egg ages the shell looses porosity due to shrinkage and pressurization due to heat will cause breakage. In old eggs you will note that bubbles will air vent while boiling and this is due to the shell having shrunk so far as that the pores have proceeded to expand thus venting excess pressure. These eggs will not peel unless run under cold water while they are still hot, however an old egg will be rubbery in texture compared to a fresh one even though is is otherwise unspoiled.
So with this to go on, dehydration wouid seem to be the biggest enemy.
Next is spoilage. When a bird lays an egg the egg has a waxy coating to prevent both the transpiration of water and the admission of bacteria from entering the shell. When eggs are washed, there goes the protection. Handling between laying and the carton you buy them in is where the largest chance of contamination occurs. Unwashed farm fresh eggs will keep longer than those washed prior to marketing. Bacterial growth in eggs already contaminated is not generally harmful in that its growth is in its infancy and retarded by refrigeration.
I am tiring of this, so in an eggshell, eggs that bleed air while boiling will not peel cleanly. old eggs can be revitalized by mixing water to them e.g. scrambling, warming the eggs prior to cooking will make for a fluffier omlette and frying them at lower temperatures will keep evaporation to a minimum and tenderness at a maximum.

Post subject: farm-fresh eggs
If you are lucky enough to live in a city where you can get farm fresh eggs - I'm just up the highway from you in Salem, OR, so you can drive up here if you can't find them down there. They come with the coating from the chicken still left on without being rinsed off. There are 2 farms up here that offer eggs direct from their chickens that haven't been rinsed. Unfortunately, one of the farms got closed due to a health department issue, but the other one is still operating. Reply if you want the location. This coating prevents any air from getting into the egg and you can actually store them on your counter-top without refrigeration for about a week. The lack of refrigeration means that the proteins aren't stressed and your genoise cake or mousse is incredibly rich.

Post subject: Further egg-regiousness
Alton Brown must have been here, (yeah, right) as I saw a show of his on cooking the egg only two weeks after my post. ....m(°¿°)m..... His main point was equally valid in that whatever you do with the egg, don't over cook it unless you are making a prop for a movie set or a play. Whether its scrambled, fried, baked, poached, or a custard, it will continue to cook after its removed from the heat. Fluffy and tender is all about water content, so keep it in. Maybe someone would like to discuss the separated egg and its possibilities, eg. mayonaise and meringue?

This is one of my families favourite dishes and complements the bobotie perfectly. It needs the sweetness to balance the spice in the bobotie. I do use half the butter to keep the fat down. Amount of liquid is fine, just stir as soon a heat is turned off and make you sure your lid fits wells and don't be tempted to open the lid before its done.

My stomach hasn't quite figured out that feeding time has been pushed back an hour, though. Monday night, I came home famished. I wanted to eat-- now. That's when Skillet Dinners can be a lifesaver.
I've made many versions of Skillet Lasagna, over the years. Usually, it involves browning ground beef, adding bottled spaghetti sauce, water and broken lasagna noodles. Then, you add some ricotta cheese and dinner is ready. Of course, there's the slow cooker version, that uses "no boil" lasagna noodles and bottled spaghetti sauce. Good, but ho-hum.
Could America's Test Kitchen develop a Skillet recipe, that doesn't use bottled spaghetti sauce? I watched the video and read the recipe. The recipe seemed simple enough. The ingredient list isn't too complicated, either: A blend of ground beef and pork (or an unseasoned meatloaf mix), ten regular lasagna noodles, a large can of diced tomatoes, a small can of tomato sauce, onion, garlic and ricotta cheese.
I added some red pepper flakes into the meat mixture and then evenly spread out the broken lasagna pieces (about 2" or 3" long)
Somehow, I felt that there needed to be a little more seasoning, so I added a generous tablespoon of Italian Seasoning (that I mix up, myself). I gently pushed around the noodles to make sure they were covered in liquid-- I had to add just a little bit more water to accomplish that.
CHALLENGE: I'm not gonna lie-- I had a bit of a soupy lasagna and I was not going to stand for that! With the lid off, I gave this ten more minutes of cooking time-- hoping the liquid would reduce. At last, the noodles seemed perfectly al dente, but I still had too much liquid. I placed the lid back on the skillet, and then carefully drained most of the liquid down the sink.
3 minutes under the broiler did the trick. Sadly, our garden basil is finished, or I would have added plenty of it.
TASTING NOTES: I have to pat myself on the back, for adding more seasoning to the recipe. The Italian seasoning kicked up the flavor, and I really liked that I increased the red pepper flakes from 1/8 teaspoon to 1/2 teaspoon. The sausage gave the meat filling a great texture, too. The ricotta and Four-Cheese blend made this skillet lasagna a satisfying pasta dinner. The next day, the lasagna tasted even better, when reheated. My son raved about it, and I admit that I enjoyed noshing on some leftovers during my lunch break. I applaud America's Test Kitchen for creating a recipe that doesn't need bottled spaghetti sauce-- and I always have diced tomatoes and tomato sauce on hand. However, ATK, you need to bump up the seasoning a whole lot more-- or this could be on the bland side.
You're welcome.
Oh, and I think "I'm good" for skillet recipes for a while. I'm hankering for a good pot roast or braised brisket-- just as soon as we get our first good rainfall of the season. It's been in the 80's for the last few days. I do appreciate the sunshine, but I'm ready to hear the crackling of a roaring fire and making some hot chocolate.

"Toptal is killing it, it kind of owns this market."Andrew Ross Sorkin Reviews Toptal
"Tech companies simply cannot find the quality employees they want to hire. The solution: Toptal."Liz Claman´s Review of Toptal
Toptal in the press
"Despite accelerating demand for coders, Toptal prides itself on almost Ivy League-level vetting."
Selina Wang
"Toptal allows corporations to quickly assemble teams that have the right skills for specific projects."
Steven Norton
"Dean blew us away. He ranks right up there as one of the top five designers of the hundreds I have worked with in the past. He listened, was totally professional, and came up with a 3D rotating cube design completely on his own. We didn't even ask for it, and yet it has become the centerpiece of our app and how users engage with it right off the bat. What he produced inspired all of us at Votify, and put us on track for launch and investor funding."
"Darko did a great job figuring out the user architecture for our concept, which led him to produce terrific wireframes. His knowledge of usability and design was a perfect match for the outside voice we needed to help jumpstart our project. We would certainly recommend him and work with him again in the future."
"Getting set up with Toptal and finding a new team member was so easy, I don't know why anyone wouldn't give it a try. Best of all, we no longer have to worry about finding great people to help with our projects!"
"We had a wonderful experience with our Toptal consultant. He was very reliable and punctual, delivering excellent work on a budget—we will certainly be using him again!"
"What attracted us to Toptal was that Toptal is sourcing its talent from a global pool. The selection process is very stringent. They're sourcing the talent not only based on capabilities -- sourcing the best 3% -- but also based on cultural fit, which is really important to us. We had an amazing experience working with Toptal. Toptal helped us achieve our goals by bringing us very high-quality resources, on very short notice."
"I couldn't have been more pleased with Toptal. They are professional, quick, well priced, and fun. I will be using them again for my next project, and the next, and the next, and the next ... "
"One of our most time consuming problems is finding qualified staff. We need to find the correct platform to advertise on, create a proper ad, filter through tons of applications, interview and test the applicants' capabilities, and finally take a risk by hiring. This was the old way of doing things. The new way: describe the job position to our Toptal account manager, interview a few qualified applicants, and hire with a risk-free trial -- much faster, a lot easier, and with incredible results."
"With the pressure on and millions watching the Cleveland Cavaliers during the NBA Playoffs, Toptal delivered the talent and expertise needed to launch a brand new fan engagement platform."
"Toptal gave us access to the best designers out there. They're not easy to find. Those designers integrated very quickly with our existing teams. They very quickly understood our business case and the value of our solution. Toptal really allowed us to focus on building the best possible product and save a lot of time on the typical administrative pains that goes with it -- specifically, finding the best talent. Toptal designers were very responsive, always online -- and that made life very easy for us. We have ambitious goals on how to grow the application and already Toptal has been a key contributor to that success."
"I can't say enough about how happy and confident I am in working with Enrique. He brings an enthusiasm to his profession that is very refreshing, constantly surprising us with his depth of knowledge and his capability to not only complete the task, but to surpass our expectations. He presents us with solutions that we would not have thought about ourselves, and sees the problem better than we can explain it."
"I've worked very closely with Martina for over a year and have to say she is one of the best people I have ever worked with. Instead of simply following instructions blindly, she thinks through the task at hand, becoming a thought partner to help with whatever the project may be. Besides being super talented at design, she possesses specific qualities that make her exceptional to work with given the fast paced nature of being a startup. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a talented, professional designer who doesn't need much direction to hit the ground running."
"We had an amazing experience working with our Toptal designer. In only two weeks, we accomplished what would've taken most companies 3 months to complete. We also enjoyed working with the Toptal team to make sure we were paired up with the right designer that would fit both our company culture and working style."
"Toptal has helped my business tremendously by finding, vetting, and recruiting the talent I need, at the right time. I'd definitely recommend it to others."

Vimes tells it how it is:
The thing is where is the common sense? This wasn't a dangerous tackle, it was just a big hit that went wrong. There is an obvious difference between this tackle which accidently ended as it did and the tackle on Bod a few years back which was done deliberately. If people can't see that then it is a sad day.
The point I'm really making is that after all the complaints against referees, particular South Africans against Lawrence, Samoans against Owens, etc., the rule that I quoted showed that Rolland did exactly what he should've done. So its somewhat ironic that I've read on forums a lot of criticism that he did elect to do just that. I can perhaps buy an argument that perhaps the rules are too strict and like you've suggested there does need to be something about common sense, but anyone who lifts a player and drops him on his head/neck, whether that be deliberate or innocently, needs to be strongly penalised IMO.

text: USDA Opens Door to New Herbicide-Resistant Seeds January 3, 2014 05:32 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Boyce Thompson AgWeb Email Farmers in the United States could soon have access to corn and soybean seeds genetically engineered to resist the herbicide 2,4-D, thanks to a USDA draft environmental impact statement released Friday. The statement, released by USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, opens the door for potential deregulation and commercial development of the seeds, marketed by Dow AgroSciences as the Enlist Weed Control System. Currently, the seeds, which have been under USDA review for several years, can only be used in tightly controlled field trials. USDA on Friday recommended full deregulation of corn and soybean traits. Starting on Jan. 10, the public will have 45 days to comment on the USDA proposal. Dow AgroSciences is inviting farmers to present feedback on the Enlist corn and soybean traits by going to enlist.com or by following the Twitter handle @EnlistOnline. Meanwhile, the Environmental Protection Agency, which is conducting its own review of 2,4-D, will release its report in the coming months. In a statement, Dow noted that the vast majority corn, soybean and cotton farmers in the south (86%) are impacted by weeds that either resist herbicide or are hard to control. It pegged the percentage of Midwest farmers suffering from the same plight at more than 61%. Environmental groups registered quick opposition to the USDA proposal. Andrew Kimbrell, executive director of The Center for Food Safety, said in a release that the rules, if finalized, would launch agriculture into "a new era of vastly increased dependence on more toxic pesticides." Today's announcement came as something of a surprise given that last May, USDA announced that it would require a more stringent environmental review of Enlist crops waiting for market approval. If advanced, the proposal would give farmers a new version of seeds that can resist herbicides and provide another weapon in fighting glyphosate resistance. The popular herbicide is already the third most widely used weed killer. Cultivation of Dow's 2,4-D resistant corn and soybean traits was permitted by Canadian regulators last fall. Back to news

yup it's a known lgdb bug (the GOG distributor links are not displayed if no other distributor is linked/added)
Never mind. Found it on GOG

Yeap, we are aiming at a multi-platform release for PC. Depending on the success of the Kickstarter, we might also work on PS4 and XBone versions!
Forum topic: Site was down
So you guys might have noticed that linuxgames.com was shut down and we did aggregated news form them, since timedoctor was a last contributor we are now getting the news directly form him, but what i wasn't aware of, is the wide range of topic, totally unrelated to linux, that he covers in his news....
Forum topic: Satellite Rush Alpha Version for Linux :D
Sweet! Will the closed development releases be multiplatform too? I'll try the demo.
By the way, you can also spread the word in the indiegamestand forum.
Forum topic: Site was down
On that note, I've been paying reasonable attention to the Aggregated News, and I really don't recall all that news that suddenly popped up by the Time Doctor. Is it just me, or was all that not really there before, even 6 days ago? Maybe I'm just paranoid, especially after a large crash.

thanks, i edited the article. after the team changed to a new forum all linux references are gone....

Convenience store robbed at gunpoint in Graham, 2 wanted
Convenience store robbed at gunpoint in Graham, 2 wanted
Police are looking for two men in connection with an armed robbery Wednesday at a convenience store.
The incident happened just before 12:30 a.m. at the Kangaroo at 1013 S. Main St.
Two men with face coverings entered the store and demanded money at gunpoint, Graham police said. The men left the store with cigarettes, a case of beer and an undisclosed amount of money, police said.
The men were described as having skinny builds and wearing baggy blue jeans, black coats. Both had black hoods and bandanas covering their faces, police said.
Anyone with information on the incident or possible suspects is asked to call Graham police at (336) 570-6711 or Crimestoppers at 229-7100.
